AZAX,

Instead of simply giving you the solutions, I have provided two very similar questions and worked solutions below.

Please go through these and then try to answer your two questions.



SCALE 6.
On a direct Mercator projection, at latitude 45° North, a certain length represents 70 NM. At latitude 30° North, the same length represents approximately?

a. 86 nm.
b. 75 nm.
c. 45 nm.
d. 90 nm.


This type of problem can be solved using the standard equation:

Distance at A / Distance at B = Cos A / Cos B

This can be rearranged to give:

Distance at B = (Distance at A x Cos B) / Cos A

Where A and B are latitudes.

For this question use A = 45 N, and Distance at A = 70 nm
And B = 30 N, and distance at B is to be calculated

Inserting these values into the equation gives:

Distance at B = (70 nm x Cos 30) / Cos 45 = 85.73 nm or approximately 86 nm (option a).


CHART THEORY 8.
What is the constant of the cone for a Lambert's Conic projection whose standard parallels are at 50 degrees North and 70 degrees North?

a. 0.866.
b. 0.500.
c. 0.941.
d. 0.766.

The constant of the cone is equal to the sine of the parallel of origin.

The parallel of origin is midway between the two standard parallels.

So in this question

Parallel of origin = (50 + 70) / 2 = 60N

Constant of the cone = sine of 60 = 0.866 (option a).

Guys there's a question i need your help to get this.

Coriolis force acts perpendicular to the _______ of the wind direction in N hemisphere.

(a) Left (b) Right

Thanks

ATPL EXAM : AIR NAVIGATION! CANCELLED MIDWAY IN DELHI :)

HAIL DGCA!!! :ugh:

DGCA has a question bank from now on
(each question having an ID number)

so if you guys can post the questions it will be helpfull to us

thanks.

Cancelled also in Chennai...

Cancelled???

System crashed or paper leaked? :rolleyes:

And was this only with Nav or even with ATLCG??

Also do we still have to wait 2 months for the results to come out?? ;)

Hey guys

Taken from the professional pilot training thread

Here is a link to the EASA (aka JAA ) ATPL (A) syllabus .

The DGCA also copies its questions from the EASA syllabus

SO here you go

EASAbank.eu, the free QCB v.15 for european airplane pilots

cyrilroy21

Thanks for the link.! Appreciated.
Goodluck to you too for the coming examination.

See now this is when it gets stupid!
When you dont know whats happening! Thats because now that NAV got cancelled, theres no idea about whats going to happen to the next exam aka MeT and RadAids.

Are they cancelled too?

First they delay it by a month and now Crashes like such! Where do i run and hide?!

who says it got cancelled!!! Delhi venue 1 had an exam today for gen nav though there was a bit off delay in between but sorted out in the end. but don't know about the other Delhi venue's.

Had the exam in Mumbai at 1500hrs. All done smoothly. Few stations crashed or the internet was down, but they were back online in no time. This must be a localized issue with the Delhi center.

Any idea when the results will be declared? It's an online exam, they should ideally give you your result as soon as you terminate the exam!!

Also, does anyone know what the validity of these ATPL exams is? Is it 2.5 years or 5 years?

nav 19 aug 2011
 

there was a delay of 15 mins in Mumbai BUT the time wasn't reduced or cut. so all in all we got the full 3 hours.
also the paper was decently set.. not tht i studied or anything! haha... but the stuff asked wasnt from Mars...
heard ppl mention Keith Williams was where the questions had come... wish id done tht...
anyways did the paper actually get cancelled in Delhi and Chennai??

any clue about Radio Aids guys???/

cheers...

@ Vivek Hegde

Exam validity is 2 years without orals
and 5 years for both written+orals

Again taken from the professional pilot training thread

This website will let you practice any topics from the JAA ATPL exams
The question bank is similar to that of the previous question bank which i had given a few posts above

It shows the questions either as flash cards or as multiple choice questions

Very good for applying your knowledge

Please report back here if you see any of these questions for your DGCA exams

Aviation Training

on 19th @Venue 3 in Delhi.

During the last half of the Nav paper, the invigilators came in and said, "We have got a message from DGCA and they say that you can leave the hall and your computers as it is"

so when some asked, is it cancelled?

they say we don't know but they say you can leave the hall.

Many students couldn't log in the system at all for the entire 2.5 hours until this message was broadcast'ed.

They finally said, they will let you know about this through their website aka DGCA website.

So this is what happened! I guess its normal everywhere else so well, back to studying!

The meteorology exam (morning session) started late(at around 1130) but there were no glitches after it began.
The afternoon session met exam went smoothly till the first 45mins(cannot comment for the whole duration because i left early)

the exams went on pretty ok...didnt c anyone getting any major troubles...except the system would just log out without any reason..!!!

can anyone please give me atpl question bank..i will b very thankful..

70 % questions were from oxford ATPL books...even the options were same:D....all the best for next exam...:ok:

@Sam
 

Were the questions strictly as per the new syllabus?

yes questions were as per new syllabus...in numerical no complicated calculations at all....simply apply the formula and you are done...and for theory questions just the basic concepts.....

hello
 

I need the atpl question bank too . Does anyone have it ?

nav questions aug 19 2011 atpl
 

guys..
there is a re-examination for NAV.
read this:
Candidates who were marked present but could not successfully complete their
examination due to disruption occurred for various technical reasons while appearing for
Air Navigation and Navigation Composite paper on 19
th
August, 2011 (morning and
afternoon batch) are required to appear for re-examination. The list of those candidates
who are required to appear for re-examination along with the date, venue and time of reexamination shall be published on DGCA website shortly. However, those candidates,
who have secured minimum required marks, shall not be called for re-examination.

DOUBT: IS ANYONE WHO HAS NOT CLEARED NAV ELIGIBLE FOR RE-EXAM????

also: let us all put up the NAV questions that we remember had come this time.....

to start with.. there were 3-4 questions on the convergency
about 3-4 on scale
and about one (1) each on DCP/TCP DNPR/TPNR

please add more...

Hello folks

My application was rejected for ATPL exam and now it has appeared in the rejected list of candidates stating "No supporting documents".

With the application, supporting documents attached by me was only a copy of my CPL. I presume they needed the copy of Logbook also.

Is there anything else i am supposed to attach next time when i apply for exam?

Thanks

@harsh
 

dude.

CPL with Multi Engine PhotoCopy Attested
(First page and the M.E. Endorsement Page)

Draft @ PAO, DGCA, MCA, New Delhi

That's it. Logbook copies not required.

Thanks

I think I did not attach the multi engine endorsement page.. my Bad..

@Sam
 

What about the results? Did you guys get it? Or as usual the "two months" period is applicable???

ATPL Orals
 

Can any tell me what kind of questions are been asked in DGCA ATPL orals in Navigation and Radio&Instruments , I got some information that in case of Nav they ask about Jeppesen charts etc . If you can please share the questions with us
Thank You

The list of candidates for the re-examination for Air Navigation has been published on DGCA's site. The exam is scheduled for 3rd Sept. Gud luck to all those writing the exam.

"what is swept gain in terms of airborne weather radar?"

Heard that this question was asked twice in the same paper of radio aids atpl

Q " What does swept gain mean in an AWR "

1. Transmission power increases as range increases

2.The returns are stronger at large angles from the aircraft heading

3. Transmission power increases as the cosecant2 of the angle from horizontal

4. The receiver increases sensitivity with time


Correct answer is 4) The receiver increases sensitivity with time

Taken from GSP Radio Aids :ok:

'During the climb after take-off, the altimeter setting is adjusted at the transition altitude. If the local QNH is 1023 hPa, what will happen to the altimeter reading during the resetting procedure ? '

a) It will decrease
b) It will increase
c) It will remain the same
d) It is not possible to give a definitive answer

??

The answer for the above q. is
IT WILL DECREASE.:ok:

If you think about how the altimeter works and how pressure varies with altitude, this type of question is not at all difficult.

The altimeter indicates the height of the aircraft above whatever pressure level is set on the subscale.

With 1023 set it indicates height relative to the 1023 level.

With 1013 set it indiactes height above the 1013 level.

Pressure decreases with increasing altitude so the 1013 level is above the 1023 level.

So when adjusting from 1023 to 1013 we are adjusting it to read relative to a higher level.

So the indication will decrease.

can anyone please tell me any good ground instructor for atpl in delhi..can anyone please guide me some good books for atpl and also question bank..please i need your hep guys..please help me..

Thanks keith :ok:

KW/Aviation Training site answers
 

@cyril, are all the answers on the Aviation Training site accurate? KW has (some of their Qs) different answers for similarly worded questions with the same choices.

I cant vouch for the accuracy of the answers on the site .

I believe a few errors have crept in here and there . You can contact the website founders and discuss any questions you have with them .
They reply back quickly

On another note I believe Keith Williams question banks also have some errors in it . I remember him mentioning it earlier somewhere on the forum

I doubt if any question bank is entirely free of errors.

It is also the case that some apparently identical questions are in fact slightly different and have different answers. Recent additions to the JAA question bank have included a lot of questions of this type. In many cases you are given two statements and must decide whether each is correct or incorrect. Unless you read these questions very carefully you will probably pick the wrong answer. As an exampe of this there are something like 20 to 30 questions on how pressure and velocity vary in a venturi.

The most important thing to look for in a good question bank is detailed explanations. This will enable users to develop a proper understanding of the subject material, and will also enable them to make a rational judgement about whether or not an answer is correct. But most importantly, by developing a real understanding of the subjects, it will enable exam takers to deal with questions that they have never seen before.

The majority of the questions that are posted on this forum are from people who want to know how to solve problems. Question banks that provide the question and answer, but no explanation are of no help whatsoever in this regard.

Examples of different answers
 

1. Among the foll. functions of an autopilot, those related to the airplane stabilization are?
1. Pitch attitude holding
2. Horizontal wing holding
3. Displayed heading or inertial track holding
4. Indicated airspeed or Mach number holding
5. Yam damping
6. VOR axis holding

KW answer: 1,2,5.
AT site answer: 1,2

2. In automatic landing mode, when the two autopilots are used, the system is considered?
1. "Fail Survival" or without failure effect with function always ensured.
2. "Fail Passive" or without failure effect but with disconnection

KW answer: 2
AT site answer: 1

I'll post more as and when I come across them.

Thanks
